Description of this activity

One of Dakar’s biggest attractions is its incredible concentration of accessible and varied spots around the peninsula, making a multi-spot surf trip a complete and memorable experience. From the very first briefing with the guide, each participant is placed according to their experience to ensure optimal progress and total safety. Morning after morning, transfers are organized by pickup truck or boat to reach the best wave of the day: perhaps the long right-hander at Ngor, the technical, tubular left-hander at Ouakam, or the friendly atmosphere of Yoff Beach for a session with the locals.
Under the supervision of an enthusiastic guide, each session is tailored to the weather and the participants’ skill level. Advice is tailored to each individual, and local hospitality is part of the downtime: meeting fishermen, tasting fresh fish, barbecuing on the beach, or strolling along the coast. The cultural dimension is never far away: exploring markets, visiting craft workshops, mini-excursions into town, or discovering iconic neighborhoods, depending on the group’s wishes.
Intense sporting activities alternate with comfort: accommodation in a villa or surf camp by the sea, swimming pool, Wi-Fi, and full board optional. In the evening, the community shares videos and anecdotes and prepares together for the next expedition to a different spot depending on the swell or tide. Yoga, stretching, and relaxation sessions are offered to round off an active day and promote recovery.
Each spot offers its own unique atmosphere: open beach breaks for gentle progress or challenging reef breaks for the more experienced. The organization ensures that participants maximize their time on the waves while guaranteeing safety and group cohesion thanks to well-established logistics: transfers, equipment included or rented, family packs, and private options available.
